MC-Bauchemie offers speciality chemicals for special purpose
MC-Bauchemie (India), an ISO 9001: 2008 certified company, has been manufacturing a host of construction chemicals in technical and financial collaboration with MC-Bauchemie, Germany.
MC-FIX ST: quick stopper plug for leakagesMC-Fix-ST, a component polymer, is modified, ready-to-use mortar for quick, permanent sealing of leakages in basements, water tanks, underground structures, galleries, tunnels, dams, cellars, pipes etc. Only water is to be added at the sites. The mortar plug develops very high strengths in about 5-7 minutes and is stone hard. The bonding and waterproofing properties are excellent, and the sealing is permanent. MC-Fix-ST sets hydraulically within minutes without shrinkage. The mortar is chloride free and does not saponify, thereby there is no loss of strength over the passage of time.
The application is very simple. First, chisel the leakage spots or the cracks in dove tail fashion.  Remove loose particles, dust etc. and moisten the prepared surfaces.  Mix MC-Fix-ST in small quantities with water, knead it into a paste and mould it into a plug shaped mass.  Hold it immediately against water leak in the prepared joint and press to ensure that no voids are left.  Hold it in place until it sets either with hand or trowel.  The setting time can be accelerated by using warm water to adjust with the work rhythm.
MC-Fix-ST is a universal waterproof quick leakage stopper and can be used where a reliable and permanent leakage stopping is required even against the hydrostatic pressure.  MC-Fix-ST is an indispensible aid while carrying out waterproofing jobs, especially where continuous seepage of water does not enable any waterproofing system applications. If still drier surfaces are required, slurry of MC-Fix-ST can be applied.
Zentrival PL: waterproof tile adhesiveZentrival PL is a present generation tile adhesive, especially formulated for fixing of ceramic, other tiles and insulation boards by thin bed method and spot bonding method. The average bed thickness can be as low as 1 mm, and it replaces the conventional bed thickness of pat mortar of 15 to 20 mm.
Zentrival PL should be added to water (not reverse) to obtain paste like consistency. This mixture should be allowed to stand for about 10 minutes to begin the reaction before applying the same by means of normal trowels. The surface should then be combed with notched trowels to achieve savings in the material. The tiles can then be placed in position by slight twisting motion. The insulating boards like polyurethane, polystyrene boards etc. should be spot bonded. Tiles need not be pre wetted and no batting of tiles is required thereby avoiding the breakage.
No pre roughening of plaster is necessary as tile adhesive adheres even to smooth surfaces and there is no wastage. Economy is derived from the fact that output of tile layer is 2 to 3 times of that in the conventional tile fixing. The greatest advantage is higher bond strength and the surface is waterproof. The joints between the tiles can be grouted by using Zentrival FM, premixed, waterproof grout supplied in white colour and can be tinted to any matching shade by using universal stainers.
